Erik gave Alex a wave and hurried back off to his dorm room. He kept an eye on the clock as he went seeing that he only had two minutes before it was time. He ran into his dorm room, closed and locked a door, and then took out his phone. The number for the hour shift on his cellphone before the indicator for an incoming call came in overtaking the home screen of her phone. Without bothering to read the identifier attached the call, Erik accepted the call and raised the phone up to his ear.

"You have a collect call from a prisoner located at..." Erik took a deep breath as the usual monotone voice played and then pressed the button to allow him through.

"Hello? Erik? How are you, my special boy?"

"Hi Mom, I am doing well. I am making connections as we discussed, I have already established friendship with one major celebrity."

"Of course you did! That is because you are so incredible Eric! You would never disappoint me..."

Erik winced and touched the scar on his arm unconsciously and continued the conversation. It proceeded as usual with him outlining his grand plans and her excited as to his prospects. Neither acknowledged the elephant in the room as ever and then it was over. When his mother finally hung up the phone, Erik sighed deeply, taking a moment just to sit and stare off at the far wall. He came back to himself as he looked in the mirror and saw a few of his hairs out of place. He grabbed his comb and fixed the issue and then took a second to admire himself in the mirror.

He looked around his belongings and undecorated room with a frown. It would not do to have his other roommates find him unprepared. He took the next hour to set up his room, delicate with his more fashionable pieces of clothing. The pieces had cost almost all of his spending money, but he considered it an important investment. He did have to fit in after all. His texts were the second most important things all the texts already worn and filled near bursting with post-it notes with his own notes. When he was complete, the room had his excellent sense of style and his work space was ready. He pulled out an older model tablet his father had owned and went through his notes on the incoming celebrity students. He made several notes on the tab for Alex Pearson focusing on his duality of wanting to be left alone and also to entertain. He cycled through briefly, but confirmed he did not have any relevant information on "Angie." Not unexpected as he could not keep tabs on all new students. As he looked though, a familiar face caught his eye.

"Quinn Nakamura..." He muttered to himself. That was the girl who had seemed familiar to him this morning. Erik frowned annoyed he had not seized the opportunity to make contact, but was at least pleased he had greeted her. Besides, "Angie" seemed to be one of the most interesting students he had spoken to today, despite her seeming indifference. Erik moved on to his journal and recorded the day's events as he thought about how he would finish the day.

"No worries, we have at least some of the same classes together as freshman, so if you don't end up returning it, I know where to send the authorities." Eric gave a stern look, before giving a wide grin to show that he was joking.

"As for people telling that studying is a waste of time though, honestly that seems fairly naive to me." Erik frowned as he mulled over the many pitfalls of the argument against schooling. Thr more he thought about, the worse it seemed to become. He opened hos mouth to go over the issues and his wise insights and then closed it again. It wouldn't do at this stage of game to scare him off with talk of business.

Instead he just replied, "Given Pine Hills reputation for academic rigor, I am not sure we are going to have any choice but to learn while we are here. Professor Hanley, at the gate, did not seem to be particularly thrilled to have new students, so I suspect she may be a fairly tough grader."

Erik glanced at the time of his phone and furrowed his brow at the time. He looked up at Alex apologetically and said, "Hey man, I am sorry, but I gotta get going for now, but it was great to meet you. I am staying over in Newton dorm if you ever feel like hanging out or I will see ya in class tomorrow." Not his ideal exit, but time for Erik was fairly limited at the moment.

Agent Yen

|| Physical Condition-Healthy || Emotional State-Playful || Equipment-Medicine Bag || Current Form: The Freckled Young Woman || Location:SIA Briefing Room || Interacting with: @Ghost32

Yen licked their lips, glancing at the clock in the small briefing room where they waited for their latest prey to arrive. The reflection of their red eyes faint glow could be seen off the plastic cover on the clock face like red hot coals. An animalistic growl of desire escaped their lips as they attempted patience. Their current body had been difficult to obtain, luckily humans tended to shed pieces of their skin quite regularly, especially after having spent their weekend in the sun without protection. Perhaps it wasn’t the smartest move in the world to greet the new task-force this way, but honestly Yen had been cooped up for so long in their room/cell in the Headquarters building and simply no longer cared to even give a half assed attempt at social tact.

So far, this experiment seemed to be a rather dull failure, but Yen retained some hope. Agents from S.I.A had repeatedly refused them to hunt for them until they had demonstrated adequately that Yen had understood all the dull facts and procedures that their organizations had possessed. Yen’s instructors seemed oddly firm that Yen should not simply entrance one of their agents and extract the necessary memories containing the information they wanted. Yen sighed internally, why the agency had kept one with their talents contained for so long was incomprehensible to them.

But today, all that would change. Today, they were to finally enter the field and see some action, albeit with a group of other supernaturals. Yen had managed to hear snippets of their other teammates as they snuck through the facility in those rare moments they were not being supervised or locked in their room. To their credit, many seemed rather interesting to play with and if not, Yen could always eat them. It seemed their first playmate had even arrived now, as Yen shifted their eyes to those of a normal humans at the sounds of approaching steps.

After Agent James sat down to wait for the rest of the team, Agent Wilson moved behind them shuffling some paperwork in his hands. Then, Agent Wilson’s entire body seemed to shiver, his eyes rolling into the back of his head showing the white of his eyes only briefly as new red irises rose up to take their place. The rest of Agent Wilson’s body shifted in a gentle ripple into the form of a young woman with a freckled face and wild black hair extending slightly past her chin. The change had once felt akin to being dipped into boiling water, but now Yen had long since grown used to it.

Yen made the shape of a gun with their hand and pressed it to the back of Agent James’ head. Taking the opportunity, Yen slid their other arm forward past James’ shoulder and rested their arm against his clavicle with their hand idly reaching out to gently touch his neck. They leaned forward to the side of Agent James’ ear and whispered softly, “Are you the one who cries at the dead?” Yen let their “gun” hand descend slowly and deliberately and let out a small, off-putting giggle before backing off entirely, draping their body arrogantly across the arms of a chair.

Cool- Yen probably would not have a very positive reputation. They can act with extreme aggression and enjoy messing with the heads of other agents.

Anyone else got a reputation to put out there?

Erik was broken away from his reverie, at the the sound of a hurried footsteps behind him. He paused and turned, as the brightly smiling face of Alex Pearson caught up to him. He was again caught slightly off-guard by the boy's actions, but it seemed as though giving him some space earlier had paid off far faster than he thought it would. Erik's mind shifted into overdrive, neatly connecting the data he had gathered about this celebrity and his initial impressions here today. Alex Pearson had grown up wealthy with a well known fashion designer and a high end chef as his family. He could assume that as his own stardom continued to grow, the amount of expectations and demands placed upon him would have only grown with time. There were surely people out there that would only try to use Alex for their own ends and grow their own fame. Therefore, the best way to make a connection with this man was to have Alex be the driving force behind any opportunity that could be gathered and not to try and get favors out of him. Even with Alex's connections, he would have to be intelligent to enter Pine Hills, so Erik did not doubt that such a flimsy attempt to gain his favor would be spotted immediately. Based on that chain of logic, Erik decided that the best way to handle Alex and his stardom, was to ignore that stardom entirely unless Alex was the one who brought it up.

Eric delivered a smile of his own back to Alex and replied, not seeming to respond to the small pause as Alex gave him his full name. "Erik, nice to meet you. And yeah I am, but honestly I am just excited to learn here!" He then noticed Alex seemed to be rather tired from his performance.

Erik reached into his bag and pulled out a full reusable water-bottle, the insulation having ensured that the ice was still rattling inside and handed it over to Alex. "It looks like you might need this more than I do right now. Don't worry, I haven't had any yet."

Hey quick question, will we be starting out knowing each other's characters (or at least any reputations) or will we be meeting each other for the first time? @Ghost32

The girl leaned forward with her arms crossed on the table to gaze and reply with him with an unexpectedly serious tone. As she replied, the girl was looking over him with what seemed like mild curiosity. He could not blame her for that though as it was not everyday that a man like himself entered someone else's life. Besides, each part of his appearance had been planned to fit in with the people here. For instance, the long sleeve shirt he had on was quite nice, but not so nice that it came off as frivolous or pompous. Even the textbook in his hand was there to cement his existence at Pine Hills and to give them a connection. Just as he was being observed, Erik gathered in as much data as he could from her words and demeanor. Her satchel was so bright and contrasted neatly against her seemingly flat personality, implying more layers than just brief contact would allow him to ascertain. He wondered briefly if such contrasts in her art and style choices would carry over to other aspects of her life. Her grey eyes seemed to linger on the textbook in his hand. He took note that her latte cup had been just about finished meaning her time here would soon come to an end.

Erik let out a small chuckle. "If such formal titles be needed, then you may address me as Mr. Fieldson or if you aspire to the heights of more casual communication, Erik. And you... Miss?" He took a final sip of his hot chocolate, as he concocted the rest of his response.

"I spent some time a few summers ago and thought I would give art a try. Unfortunately, I didn't seem to have the knack for it or the time to try and hone those skills, but I did gain a deep appreciation for the history of the subject and the creation of art. Most of all, the fascinating array of mediums artists use to convey thoughts, feelings, stories. It's really quite incredible." He paused for a moment, placing a wistful smile on his face, then lightly shaking the expression away as he continued.

"Anyway, I have not been able to make enough time for art appreciation of late. They really make you work to enter Pine Hills Academy, especially when you are trying to enter through the scholarship track. I have had my nose buried inordinate amount of books for quite some time. So, when I looked up over there and saw your piece, the feeling of that calm in the storm spoke to me and reminded me to take a moment to breathe. I wanted to express my gratitude and to tell you, as I said before, that your work really meant something to me. Truly." He flashed his brightest smile at her, then glanced down to check the time on his phone.

"Unfortunately as much as I would like to stay and chat, I still have many things to get around to today, so I have to get going. I believe that we are going to be having at least a few classes together tomorrow. Hopefully, I will see you then!"

Erik waited for her reply, then gave a slight wave as he left for his dorm, placing his empty mug in the cafe return tray. There truly were more things to prepare before tomorrow, the most important of which was getting ready to make his debut for his roommates. While he was walking, he noticed the music start Alex Pearson, who had avoided contact with others earlier in the day, was now singing and dancing for a small crowd of other students. Erik, taken back slightly, paused and blinked several times in surprise before continuing onward. He supposed Alex was in the entertainment scene for a reason. He payed little attention to the song as he walked, absorbed in his own thoughts.
